Movie Reviews of Company Business
Movie Review: An old-school "cold war" spy-classics with humour and style!
Summary: 5 Stars
I find this film amazing for some reasons. First of all these are the characters played by Hackman and Baryshnikov. A cynical retired CIA-agent and an arrogant KGB-agent. Rather trite stereotypes. But they are played as perfect and naturally as it is possible! I think, both actors were born to play this couple. Also very good are the performers of minor characters like the Arabian weapons dealer or the CIA-people. Second reason are the dialogues between the main characters. The third thing that makes the movie outstanding is the shown atmosphere of Berlin and Europe right after the Cold War end. I lived there at that time and it is for me like a nostalgic home video :-). The script is a bit silly, but it is a tradition for "USSR vs. USA" spy films. I think it is a classic old-school "cold war" movie with two brilliant main heroes.
Summary of Company Business
The Cold War may be over, but things are about to heat up again! Oscar® winner* Gene Hackman (Enemy of the State) teams up with Mikhail Baryshnikov (White Nights) in this fast paced, thrill-a-minute ride that hurtles through Europe, culminating in a death-defying confrontation atop the Eiffel Tower! When an ex-CIA agent (Hackman) is called out of retirement to escort a Soviet spy (Baryshnikov) to Berlin for a prisoner trade with the Russians, it seems like business as usual. But when the former adversaries realize they've been double-crossed by their own governments, they must work together to uncover and destroy the double operatives within both the CIA and the KGB to win this intricate and deadly spy game. *1992: Supporting Actor, Unforgiven; 1971: Actor, The French Connection
